"Atobe won this round."
"Score.1-5!"
Tokugawa, who has always been confident, felt unimaginable pressure when he played against Atobe for the first time.
Unlike ghosts who can be crushed by pure strength, Atobe is even more powerful that he can't fathom.
"Atobe's ice world has grown stronger and stronger now."
"Even I can't force him to use his full strength now."
The fight with Ju Juping has been interrupted. The two stood together and spoke with enough restraint.
As the former second-in-command of Hyokui, he has always known Atobe very well.
But this year's Atobe has been beyond his reach.
It can only be said that as a minister, he is definitely working hard to grow.
"But who is that person?"
"I have never seen him among the new members who joined the club before."
Tachibana is naturally concerned about Atobe's strength, but since he has come to Hyokui, there are plenty of opportunities to fight with him.
But what he was curious about was the sudden appearance of Tokugawa.
Judging from the previous fight, he himself possesses considerable strength, but facing Atobe, he has absolutely no place to show off.
For an ice world that can see blind spots, as long as Atobe can hit, he will definitely score.
Not to mention that Atobe has become much stronger this year.
"Atobe said he was a "downgraded" high school student."
Pushing up his glasses, Renzu didn't have much news, but told the only thing he knew.
"Huh? High school student?"
Frowning, Ju Juping didn't know what was going on.
Have you ever heard of skipping or repeating a grade?
I've never seen anyone downgraded.
"Tokugawa Kazuya."
"I seem to have heard this name somewhere before."
Compared to Tachibana Ping and Renzu who have been staying in China, Himuro who has been overseas for a while has some vague impressions.
After thinking about it carefully, he fumbled for the information in his memory and finally remembered it.
"It seems that he is an elite player based in a tennis club and has been active overseas for a long time."
"I also won many singles championships."
"But why is he here?"
Hearing Himuro's whisper behind him, Renzu and Tachibana frowned.
Overseas elites?
Singles winner?
At this level?
It's not that they looked down upon him, but Tokugawa's performance when facing Atobe could be said to be "unsightly".
If we really follow this standard, Renzu feels that he can become the so-called "elite".
At any rate, facing the current Atobe, he can still cope with the world of ice.
"I heard that you are good at hitting multiple balls in a row?"
In the field, Atobe didn't pay attention to the discussions of the team members, but looked at Tokugawa who was forced into a desperate situation and asked.
"?!"
Hearing Atobe's question, Tokugawa's expression changed slightly. After all, in the training camp, he didn't have the ability to hit multiple balls in a row, so he couldn't be called a master at all.
Even ghosts and others can achieve the so-called ten-goal streak.
And after Tokugawa went through hardships in the back mountains, he was finally able to achieve that level.
"Snapped!"
"Birchland!"
"yes!"
After speaking words that others could not understand, Atobe snapped his fingers and shouted to Huaji without looking back.
Kagachi, who had not yet fully grown up, seemed to understand Atobe's thoughts and threw six balls in Tokugawa's direction in an instant.
"You're welcome, just punch it out in one breath."
"Let me see what the U17 training camp is doing."
As if he didn't care at all, his contemptuous tone was very arrogant.
Tokugawa frowned, but without hesitation, he hit all the balls thrown at him.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
Six balls were hit in a row, making a sound like firecrackers.
"too slow!"
Atobe even took out two tennis balls himself and hit them back together with the six flying tennis balls.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!!"
(Eight-ball game?!)
Seeing Atobe complete the multi-ball counterattack so easily, Tokugawa looked serious.
"ha!"
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"
The Ice World was not used, so Tokugawa was finally able to react this time and hit them all back.
"Birchland."
"yes!"
He was not in a hurry at all, but greeted Kachiji outside the court. In response to the opponent's response, two more tennis balls were hit towards Atobe.
(Ten balls?!)
Combined with the eight tennis balls flying in front in various trajectories, there are exactly ten balls together.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"
Under Tokugawa's shocked gaze, Atobe hit all the balls easily.
The movements seemed so casual and easy
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!!"
But Tokugawa did not panic, but calmly hit him back one ball after another.
Atobe struck back again with a very smooth posture.
Tokugawa moved his body, swung his racket and fought back without giving in.
The tennis balls flying all over the sky were splashing like falling rain.
They had never seen this style of play before, and the other spectators were stunned.
"What's going on?"
"Can you hit ten balls at once?"
"Isn't this too awesome?"
Many people watching couldn't understand the doorway here at all, but that didn't stop them from knowing how difficult it was to perform.
Just the placement of two or three balls requires special attention and counterattack. In this scene of ten balls rushing at the same time, it is good if you don't panic.
It's really scary to fight back those who can calm down like Atobe and Tokugawa.
Originally, when they saw Tokugawa being beaten so badly by Atobe, they thought it was nothing more than that.
But now it seems that it is not that Tokugawa is too weak at all, but that Atobe simply did not give him a chance to perform.
This scene of a ten-goal attack must be said to be too exciting.
Even Tachibana Kipei, Ninzu, and Himuro were attracted by the picture.
(Hyou Tei’s minister, Atobe Keigo, is a second-year junior high school student.)
(With such strength, he only led Ice King to the top eight in the country last year?)
The more he fights Atobe, the more Tokugawa realizes how terrifying the opponent is.
Regardless of his teammates for the time being, Atobe's own strength alone, in Tokugawa's opinion, even surpassed the group of high school students in the training camp.
And he won't even be his opponent at all
(Go to the junior high school competition with a playful attitude.)
(you will die)
Recalling what Irie told the ghost before leaving, he seemed to have some enlightenment.
That may not be a joke or a big statement.
At least he felt unprecedented pressure from Atobe.
"Well, he is somewhat capable."
"Well, a player like you."
"I reluctantly accepted it."
Perhaps because he had a clear understanding of Tokugawa's ability, Atobe showed a satisfied expression, and then his eyes sharpened when faced with another ten-goal attack.
"So, let's indulge in my magnificent skills!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!!"
"Crack!"
It was like hearing the sound of icicles breaking. When Tokugawa reacted, only ten tennis balls were left rolling on the ground.
PS:
I had to rush as soon as I got home.
I've barely finished the past two days, I'll see if I can find time to add more updates tomorrow.
